Yep, it's hard to think a bird can do that but... a small dear, juvenile... not trying to say that they take full grown deer all the time, but, they are raptors of the first water.
and back to the Haasts... seems to me a fell swoop would break the Moa's neck no matter it's size? |

I'd buy it. It's hard to imagine the cartilage between vertebrae taking a hit from that much weight at a decent velocity. That would be some pretty specialized predatory behavior, though. |
